OpenAthens for Remote Access

Welcome to OpenAthens!

In coordination with GALILEO, we are adopting the OpenAthens authentication system, which will make using library resources easier and more reliable, improve security, and allow GALILEO and the University Libraries to offer new resources and services.

OpenAthens is an identity and IP-based authentication system that provides access to our licensed online resources via single sign-on (SSO) technology. OpenAthens offers a more secure and reliable experience for our remote users.

On-campus users will still navigate directly to resources without a login.

Off-campus users will see the familiar campus login page and will use their AU login and password for access to resources.
